Pumpkin Soap

Happy Wednesday! I hope you have been having a great week!  I have been having lots of fun getting things decorated for fall around here.  And since I don't like any rooms to feel left out, I created a little project for the bathroom...


It is a very simple project but it does get a little messy! :)  All you need is some hard orange {or white} soap and a few sticks.  I used some goat milk soap in a green tea and nectarine scent so it smelled pretty good while I was creating these!  1 bar makes roughly 2 pumpkins.


TO DO
  • Using a cheese grater, grate up all of the soap.  Place the grated soap in a bowl and add a little bit of warm water.  Grab a handful the size of the pumpkin you want to make and form a ball.  Add water as needed to form and smooth out your ball.
  • Once your ball is formed, shape your pumpkin.  I flattened mine a bit so it wasn't so round and placed my thumb in the top to indent it a bit.  If there is a lot of foamy soap on your pumpkin, blot it down with a towel.
  • Add a stick to the top of the pumpkin.
  • Using a knife, carve out the slits in the sides of the pumpkin.

So there you go!  I super easy project to make your bathroom happy all fall!  They also look cute added to a basket with some real mini pumpkins or some rolled towels.

Great idea! My weekly linky party--One Creative Weekend--has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit "One Creative Weekend" on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
